Methods : We present the results from a Kaunas cohort study on the access to and use of green spaces, the association with cardiovascular risk factors and other health-related variables, and the risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. A random sample of 5,112 individuals aged 45-72 years was screened in 2006-2008. During the mean 4.41 years follow-up, there were 83 deaths from CVD and 364 non-fatal cases of CVD among persons free from CHD and stroke at the baseline survey. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used for data analysis. Results : We found that the distance from people’s residence to green spaces was not related to the prevalence of health-related variables. However, the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus were significantly lower among park users than among non-users. During the follow up, an increased risk of non-fatal and fatal CVD combined was observed for those who lived ≥629.61 m from green spaces (3rd tertile of distance to green space) (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.36), and the risk for non-fatal CVD–for those who lived ≥347.81 m (2nd and 3rd tertile) and were not park users (HR = 1.66) as compared to men and women who lived 347.8 m or less (1st tertile) from green space. Men living further away from parks (3rd tertile) had a higher risk of non-fatal and fatal CVD combined, compared to those living nearby (1st tertile) (HR = 1.51). Compared to park users living nearby (1st tertile), a statistically significantly increased risk of non-fatal CVD was observed for women who were not park users and living [...].Green spaces.Cardiovascular diseases.Low birth weight.Risk factors.Tamošiūnas, Abdonas[Tamosiunas, Abdonas],aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.6D85D4E7CB2C6CC097AA111A07E659EDaut302536989liGražulevičienė, Regina[Grazuleviciene, Regina],aut.Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas.BEC162E4F9A5CE824E3A9C48E42E30CC111950396-01-0101autliLukšienė, Dalia[Luksiene, Dalia],aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.94230F1390342614D18825703203D544aut302536989liDėdelė, Audrius,aut.Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas.A8840FF145F12B50E9134A66D96A46BEaut111950396-01-0101liRėklaitienė, Regina,aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.aut302536989liBacevičienė, Miglė[Baceviciene, Migle],aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.aut302536989liVenclovienė, Jonė[Vencloviene, Jone],aut.Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas.4B4ADBD5D70A2CE49641F4527BFA129Caut111950396-01-0101liBernotienė, Gailutė,aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.aut302536989liRadišauskas, Ričardas[Radisauskas, Ricardas],aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.aut302536989liMalinauskienė, Vilija,aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.CAB3FEC3F9EAC3711BD69695FE312E6Caut302536989liMilinavičienė, Eglė[Milinaviciene, Egle],aut.Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universitetas.aut302536989liBobak, Martin,aut.University College London, UK.autxxkPeasey, Anne,aut.University College London, UK.autxxkNieuwenhuijsen, Mark J.,aut.Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology, Barcelona, Spain.Municipal Institute of Medical Research, Barcelona, Spain.autspEnvironmental health [Elektroninis išteklius].London : BioMed Central2014, vol. 13, iss. 201476-069X2014/13:20/1nnashttp://www.ehjournal.net/content/13/1/20StraipsnisS1Straipsnis Clarivate Analytics Web of Science42VDU0090PUVIKA9920140417VDU0210150090PUVIKA9920140418VDU0214130090PUVIKA9920140515VDU0216080090PUVIKA9920140515VDU0216420090PUDAJO9920150127VDU021257LINAS0020160126VDU021002LINAS0020160126VDU02101120170727VDU021311BATCH-UPD0020190305VDU021611BATCH-UPD0020190305VDU021641BATCH-UPD0020190308VDU021227BATCH-UPD0020190318VDU02193820190318VDU02200420190320VDU0212300090PUDAJO9920190327VDU021350GražulevičienėReginaGrazulevicieneReginaVytauto Didžiojo universitetasLTr.grazuleviciene@gmf.vdu.lt070BEC162E4F9A5CE824E3A9C48E42E30CC11195039601010797DėdelėAudriusVytauto Didžiojo universitetasLTa.dedele@gmf.vdu.lt070111950396A8840FF145F12B50E9134A66D96A46BE01014229VenclovienėJonėVytauto Didžiojo universitetasLTj.vencloviene@gmf.vdu.lt0701119503964B4ADBD5D70A2CE49641F4527BFA129C01011362VDU02G0090PURIRI9920200313VDU021349X7L3TV9PC2IY3MJXIJMXQPBT6YK3MSTPCDFDK6IKNEUK2Y71RE
